R&J
“R&J is love interrupted, love you can't live without and love you have to. This is Romeo and Juliet for our times.”
THE COURIER MAIL
Choreography by Natalie Weir
Love plays a major role in all our lives, but as Shakespeare knew too well, does not always guarantee a fairy-tale ending.
Set across three different eras, and telling three different versions of events, R&J turns the classic story of Romeo and Juliet on its head, cutting to the essence of what is real, human and inevitable.
Winner of Outstanding Achievement in Choreography at the 2012 Australian Dance Awards, R&J reinforces the notion that love – no matter what age you are, or what era you live in – is eternal, and its power, everlasting.
With music composed by John Babbage and recorded by prolific music ensemble Topology, R&J celebrates contemporary performance at its most bold and powerful.
